¡Hola! I'm Belén, a Spanish and English teacher from Chile with a Bachelor's degree in Language Teaching. Born and raised in the southernmost zone of Chile, Patagonia. I love dancing, exploring new cultures, languages and creating genuine connections with people from around the world.
I love what I do because it gives me the incredible opportunity to teach my native language while learning from my students' diverse backgrounds and life experiences. I'm genuinely curious about your world, your culture, and your story.
Let's start learning together!
Me as a Teacher
With a Bachelor's degree in Language Teaching and 9 years of teaching experience (5 years in schools + 4 years online), I've developed an adaptive approach. I'm patient, and genuinely interested in getting to know each student.
Having taught in schools and online worldwide, I understand different learning styles and cultural backgrounds.
As a person who travels, I bring authentic cultural insights to every lesson (I'm sharing my travel and life experiences with my students through recordings, so you'll get listening practice with transcriptions).
My students appreciate my friendly approach and flexibility.
My lessons & teaching style
I believe learning Spanish should be enjoyable and practical from day one. As a professional language teacher, I use an approach that develops all your skills. My lessons integrate speaking, listening, reading, and writing through fun activities.
I adapt to different learning paths tailored to each student's goals. You'll receive immediate feedback, and organized materials for practice.
I'm patient but focused on results, creating a supportive environment where consistent progress happens.

I had an excellent experience learning with Bele. Her approach was really professional and personalized. One of the aspects I appreciate the most is her ability to analyze my pronunciation and help improve my accent.
She also prepared individualized materials for my level. Her explanations were clear, and she was always willing to answer my confused questions with patience. If you’re looking for a committed, experienced teacher with an effective methodology, I highly recommend her!

I highly recommend lessons with Belén! She's very responsive to your learning goals. She provides an excellent mix of conversational practice and instruction, which is what I was looking for. She seems very knowledgeable as an instructor. And, importantly, she's pleasure to talk with! I've taken online lessons before and haven't always been excited about the classes, but I always look forward to and enjoy my classes with Belén.

Belé is an awesome Spanish instructor. I've been working with her for 3 months and I have progressed from essentially no Spanish to having basic conversations about a variety of different things. She is super encouraging and fun to work with. She is well organized and her lessons are interesting and relevant and tailored to my particular language learning goals. She has great additional learning materials and homework that is a great supplement to the classes. I would absolutely recommend her to all of my friends if they were learning Spanish.

Belén is a great teacher! The atmosphere was always very friendly. I learned a lot and gained confidence very quickly.
She adjusts the classes to your needs and answers questions you might have even after the classes end.
What surprised me the most is how much good material she produces herself. She has made videos and podcasts with transcripts that help a lot with training your ears.
Her english is very good, so if you are totally lost, she can explain anything in english.
If you're looking for a competent teacher with structure and empathy, look no further.

Belén helped me prepare for a family trip to Chile, and was helpful in providing a balance of conversation, reading, writing, grammar, podcasts, and Chilean context and expressions. I recommend her to anyone studying Spanish, and especially for anyone who wants to understand the differences with Chilean Spanish.
